Met with LAMDA students
The American students at LAMDA and I met today, discussing the progression of their careers as they get ready to graduate the LAMDA program and launch their acting career stateside.
I also had the pleasure of lunching with the London Academy of Dramatic Arts principle Peter James. Peter explained to me their involvement with the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama and how the aim is to put the future of dance and drama vocational training in higher education on a secure footing. Peter unfortunately could not stay and see my presentation as he was expected at Buckingham Palace for dinner! Seriously.
The schools that are part of the Conservatoire are:
London Contemporary Dance School
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School
Central School of Ballet
London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art
The Circus Space
